Chapter 21 Lift Your Butt Higher
"Damn, don't you know how to keep your voice down when you're doing it?"

Xing San muttered to himself as he walked towards the toilet in the corner. Without entering the door, he untied his belt in the corner next to the toilet and started watering.

call out!
Xing San felt a heat in his chest and subconsciously looked down, only to see an arrow flashing with cold light sticking out from his chest.

A severe pain came over him, and Xing San's face was full of fear. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout loudly, but the passing of his life left him no chance at all. He fell to the ground with a thud and could not move anymore.

In the dark night, Zhong Lin jumped down from the wall and walked towards Xing San's body with an expressionless face. He reached out and touched his nose bridge, then pulled out the arrow. Blood gushed out from the wound like snowflakes.

Without stopping for long, Zhong Lin walked cautiously towards the main house.

Before he got close, he heard the heavy breathing of a man and a woman in the bedroom through the window. As someone who had experienced this, Zhong Lin naturally knew what the people inside were doing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As I walked into the main room, the table was still filled with the smell of wine and meat.

Zhong Lin swaggered over and pulled up a chair, sitting down with his eyes fixed on the bedroom door.

Since the evening when Qin Yong and Xing San robbed his silver, Zhong Lin had already issued them a death order. After dinner, he sneaked over under the cover of darkness.

Less than half a cup of tea later, the bedroom door was opened, accompanied by the woman's shouting and Qin Yong, the second master of Qin, repeatedly yelling "I'm too tired today".

The first thing Qin Yong saw when he opened the bedroom door was naturally Zhong Lin. He was stunned at first, and then his expression changed drastically.

call out!
Zhong Lin drew his bow and shot an arrow. With a sound of breaking through the air, the arrow hit Qin Yong's face and passed through his skull through his eye socket.

Qin Yong fell straight to the ground without even having time to utter a groan.

"what……"

A scream was heard, but it lasted less than a breath before it was scared back by the cold blade in front of it.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The "sister-in-law" who walked out of the bedroom was also frightened by the scene in front of her and trembled all over. The cold hunting knife on her neck made her fair skin covered with goose bumps.

The "sister-in-law" had just gotten up from the bed and had no time to put on her coat. She was only wearing a pink tube top, and due to the trembling, half of it slipped off, revealing a piece of snow-white.

"Shh! Don't scream. Although I don't kill women, if it disturbs the neighbors, I will have to take ruthless action. Don't you agree, sister-in-law?" Zhong Lin said coldly.

"Yeah, no, I won't scream. Please forgive me, my dear. I don't know anything. I was also kidnapped by Qin Yong. He bullies me every night. I wish I could cut him into pieces."

"Sister-in-law" was trembling all over, and the sound of her voice was like the trembling of the tail feathers after an arrow penetrates a tree trunk.

"Really? In that case, Qin Yong deserves to die. Sister-in-law, you've lived here for so long, you should know where Qin Yong hid the silver, right? Don't say you don't know!"

"I know, I know. I'll get it for you right away."

Restraining her fear, the "sister-in-law" returned to the bedroom and rummaged through the drawers. Zhong Lin followed closely behind her, not daring to let her leave even a step.

A moment later, he took out a purse from a camphorwood cabinet. It was now bulging with money. From the weight and the sound of the silver hitting the wall, it was clear that it was definitely much more than the dozen or so taels of silver he had lost in the evening.

"that is all?"

"My dear, this is all I have. I dare not hide it privately. Qin Yong has a group of friends who often eat and drink with him. These are what I hid secretly."

Zhong Lin nodded, and suddenly a lustful expression appeared on his face. With his left hand, he pulled off the half-exposed bra on the chest of his "sister-in-law" and grabbed her directly.

The "sister-in-law" felt relieved. She was not afraid that you were lustful, but she was afraid that you were a heartless person.

"Sister-in-law, don't you think it's unreasonable to search for such a small amount of silver in the middle of the night?"

Zhong Lin's grip tightened even more forcefully, hinting at something. "Sister-in-law" puffed out her chest and adjusted her position to allow Zhong Lin a better grip, a charming smile on her face.

"Of course it's unacceptable. Good man, you killed that damned Qin Yong. I wish I could serve you like a slave to repay your kindness. It's still early, so I just hope you can have some mercy."

"Come on, lie on the table and lift your butt higher."

The "sister-in-law" did not dare to neglect him and thought it was just Zhong Lin's quirk. She not only raised her buttocks, but also consciously lifted her skirt to her waist.

snort~
With a clear sound, the sharp hunting knife cut across the throat of the "sister-in-law", and blood gushed out instantly. After a few breaths, the "sister-in-law" lay on the table without moving.

There was no desire in Zhong Lin's eyes at this moment, only coldness.

He pulled out the arrow from Qin Yong's eye socket, found a piece of rag to wipe the blood off the arrow and the hunting knife, then climbed over the wall without looking back and disappeared into the darkness.

In the darkness, Zhong Lin kept changing his position to take a detour. It was not suitable to set fire in the city, so all he could do was to disrupt the sight and prevent others from finding him.

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell heavily. Zhong Lin stopped and looked up at the sky. Then, heavy rain suddenly fell.

"It's raining, that's nice."

A smile appeared on Zhong Lin's face. He no longer took a detour, but ran straight towards home.

Rain is good! When it rains, all those traces will be washed away.

When I got home, I didn't knock on the door. I climbed over the wall again, worried that knocking on the door would wake up other people on both sides.

The lights in the house were not on, and Zhong Lin thought that Xiao Shitou was asleep. However, he did not expect to see Xiao Shitou sitting in the corner of the bed when he pushed the door open.

"Second brother."

The voice was filled with joy, the happiness that came after fear and worry disappeared.

"why are not you sleeping?"

"I'm waiting for my second brother."

Little Stone nimbly climbed down from the bed, took the longbow and quiver from Zhong Lin's hands, and then skillfully hung them on the wall behind the door.

"Brother, is it done?"

"It's done. Everything went smoothly. Tomorrow we will go to Master Liu to learn to read and write. Are you happy?" Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"happy."

Little Stone nodded heavily.

"Haha, you might not be happy in a few days, go to sleep!"

"Ah."

Not long after, the little guy fell asleep. Zhong Lin then took out the purse and poured it all out on the table.

"Forty-eight taels of silver, thirty taels more than my eighteen taels. Thirty taels of silver means three lives. This world is really dark!" Zhong Lin sighed in his heart.

Zhong Lin did not have any extra emotions, let alone regret for killing. From the moment Zhong Lin woke up and saw that his family had been eaten, he knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, if you want to live well, you have to be more ruthless than the bad guys, otherwise sooner or later you will be eaten until nothing is left.
